Amrut Distilleries has officially unveiled Amrut Pravas at TFWA Singapore, marking a major milestone in the brand’s expanding global travel retail journey. Crafted exclusively for duty-free and travel retail markets, the new single malt expression celebrates the spirit of travel, discovery, and Indian craftsmanship on an international stage.

The launch reinforces Amrut’s position as one of India’s pioneering single malt whisky brands, continuing a legacy that transformed global perceptions of Indian whisky since its international debut in 2004. Over the years, the Bengaluru-based distillery has earned worldwide recognition for its tropical maturation techniques and award-winning expressions, including the globally acclaimed Amrut Fusion.

Amrut Pravas has been designed specifically for the modern global traveller, a whisky intended to be discovered in transit and experienced across borders. Inspired by India’s cultural diversity and evolving identity, the expression reflects themes of movement, exploration, and connection through flavour and craftsmanship.

Handcrafted by Ashok Chokalingam, COO and Master Distiller at Amrut Distilleries, Pravas is matured under India’s tropical climate using carefully selected casks that contribute to its depth, richness, and layered complexity. The whisky combines traditional Indian whisky-making with a contemporary global outlook, resulting in an expression that is both refined and distinctly Indian.

Available exclusively through global duty-free and travel retail channels, Pravas has been intentionally positioned as a rare travel-exclusive offering, creating a sense of discovery for international whisky enthusiasts.

The unveiling at the TFWA Singapore follows Amrut’s growing presence across major travel retail hubs, including exclusive launches at Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Kochi airports. The company continues to expand its footprint across airports, seaports, and international duty-free destinations as demand for premium Indian single malts continues to rise globally.

Speaking on the launch, Rakshit N. Jagdale, Managing Director of Amrut Distilleries, described Pravas as a celebration of India’s evolving identity and craftsmanship. He noted that the expression was created to reflect the spirit of travel and exploration while remaining deeply rooted in Indian whisky-making traditions.

Amrut Pravas opens with bright citrus and lemon zest notes layered with subtle nuttiness, evolving into dried fruits, dark chocolate, almond brittle, and vanilla cream on the nose. The palate delivers a luxurious combination of honeyed syrup, vanilla custard, almond-infused chocolate, dried fruits, and sweet lemon tart, while the finish remains long, elegant, and clean with lingering sweetness.

With Pravas, Amrut Distilleries continues its ambition of positioning Indian single malt whisky as a globally respected category, offering travellers a distinctive expression that captures the richness, warmth, and character of India through every sip.
